Moon
Alexis S.
Virginia
When I left my old house in Maryland, Bruno Mars' song - Talking To the Moon - would be blasting in my headphones 24/7. I missed my old friends, and one of the only things that helped me feel close to them when we were so far apart was remembering we were watching the same moon rise and fall every night and morning. As a military teen, it's difficult moving around and leaving behind so many aspects of your life, so finding ways to feel more connected to the past is so valuable.

Take Your Time
Imogene S.

"When you move so often, it can be hard feel like you are in control. Nevertheless, there are always new opportunities to grow and enjoy your life in the present."

Chapel Hart
Rowan M.
Guam
"The hit country band Chapel Hart, famous for being finalists on AGT, are currently doing a series of performances at USOs around the world. They sounded even better in person than on TV, and it was a lot of fun!"

Halloween!

Virginia
"I was so busy as the end of the quarter passes by that one of the most enjoyable days in the year has already passed. But I can still make an art for such a fun day getting treats. :)"

Doors
Lara O.
Virginia
"Every PCS is another door into the unknown. We never know what’s behind the door, but we still push through and live with whatever the military life throws our way."

New View, Familiar Feelings
Brianna V.
Texas
"Every where we move, we see different views, but the feelings we have are always the same: excitement, anxiety, sadness, hopefulness, and more"

Patchwork Quilt
Miah S.

Shifting Pieces
Ellie C.
England
""Shifting Pieces" explores the emotional fragmentation that comes with moving constantly. Each "piece" of the portrait represents the different parts of ourselves that are connected to all of the places we have lived; different but still stitched together to make us who we are."

Constant Change
Imogene S.
Florida
"Like the seasons, change is the one of the true constants in a military teen's life. It is a paradox in that it's predictable yet always new."

Army Class
Jason C.
Virginia
"As the new school year arrives with a variety of new electives open for freshman. Thus I decided to join JROTC so I can learn general knowledge about the military (and for personal reasons)! As of now, nothings too complicated thanks to the older people who taken the class multiple times and it’s pretty fun! However, I’m still lost—but hey, everybody gets lost in a new environment and it’s totally fine!"

Window Chicken
Rowan M.
Guam
"There are a huge number of wild chickens in Guam, including on the base. There's one that lives near our house and has actually jumped up to my window from the outside; I tried to capture the obnoxious rooster and the view behind it in this piece."

Virtual
Zoe B.
Hawaii
"It always hurts when you move and suddenly the only way you can see your friends is through a screen. Everyone says it’s great that we have technology that connects us, but it’s not the same. It’s never the same."
